About this tour

Trace London’s royal story on a guided walk through Westminster, then step inside the city’s great cathedral. This 5-hour London Royalty and St Paul's Cathedral Tour pairs a 3-hour stroll past 20 notable sights with entry to St Paul's, where an audio guide helps bring the landmark’s history to life.

Meet outside The Ritz Hotel and head toward Buckingham Palace, with a chance to watch the Changing of the Guard on scheduled days. Continue along the Royal Mall past royal residences, then walk down Whitehall toward Westminster Palace. Along the way, your local guide shares entertaining stories and historical details. At the end of the walk, make your own way to St Paul's Cathedral; transport there is not included, and the guide does not enter with you. Inside, admire the cathedral associated with the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

The London Royalty and St Paul's Cathedral Tour offers a lively introduction to royal landmarks and a memorable cathedral visit in one outing. Bring a payment card or Oyster card for transport, plus your own snacks and drinks, and enjoy two distinct sides of the capital.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 42% in London means it ranks in the top 42% of tours in London by this score.
